COTEBINATION PIPE AND TOBACCO CASE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Oct. 1,1912.

Application filed August 16, 1910. Serial No. 577,498.

To allwiwm mag/concern. Be it known that I, OSCAR A. VON S.

BUcKow, a citizen of the United States,

residing at Newark, in the county of Essex and State of New Jersey, have invented cer-. tain Improvements in Combination Pipe and Tobacco Cases, of which the following is a specification.

The objects of this invention are to provide a holder or case which shall contain a smoking pipe and also a quantity of tobacco for smoking in said pipe; to] rovide such a case or holder which shall he easil and comfortably in ones pocket; to enab e the pipe and the tobacco to be inclosed each lndependent of the other, and to be indeg pendently accessible; to enable the pipe to be removed from the holder or case without disturbing the tobacco, and to be co'nven iently filled with such tobacco; to secure a strong, durable construction of pleasing appearance, and to obtain other. advantages and results as may be brought out in the followin description.

Referrin to the accom anying'drawings, in which 1i e numerals 0 reference indicate the same parts throughout the several figures, Figure 1 is a plan of my im roved pipe and tobacco holder; Fig. 2 is a ottom view of the same; Fig. 3 is an edgeview; Fig. 4 is a longitudinal section on line 4-4 of Fig, 1, with the lids raised alittle; Fig. 5. is a cross-section on line 5-5, Fig. 4,

with the adjacent lid wide open, and Fig. 6, is a section on line 6-6 of Fi 4, looking I in the direction indicated by -t e arrow. In said drawings, 1' indicates the body portion or shell of my improved holder or case, said shell being formed out of any suitable light. strong material, preferably by stampin or pressing and providing a cavity or c amber with a closed bottom 2 and side walls 3 at substantially right angles thereto, the top of said shell or body being open. In plan, said body portion is rounded at its ends 4, 5, and its bottom corner edges are preferablybeveled, as at 6, so as to conveniently fit the hand and cause less frictional wear in the ocket.

The case or holder is somew at longer than it is wide, as clearly shown: .;in the drawings, and substantially midway: be-

tween itsopposite ends 4 and 5 the interior chamber is divided by a transverse partition 7. The compartment 8'between said partition and the end 5 of the holder is adapted to receive a smoking pipe 9, while .the end of the body ortion on the other psidejof the partition 7 1s adapted to contain tobacco, as at 10. The said artition 7 is soldered or otherwise suitab y secured in place, and .at'its upper edge provides sleeves 11,- 11, 11, adapted to lie 1n alinement with other sleeves 12, 12'and 13, 13 upon covers or lids 14 and 15 for the compartments 8 and 10 res tively, a hinge pm 16 being slid throng all sald sleeves. These sleeves are preferably formed by ears'projecting from the covers and'the partition, each in the plane of its respective part, at their edges which meet in a' common line, said 'ears being rolled into the rounded sleeves just referred to. Said covers 14 and 15 are thus hinged to the body portion, and since the partition 7 extends substantially into the plane of the top of the body portion'l of the holder, said covers are adapted to close the compartments of the holder. Each cover has a marginal flange 141, or 151,-ada ted to abut at its edges against the. edges 0 the side walls 3, and preferably the corneredge's of said covers are beveled as at 17 Furthermore, each lid has at its end farthest from the line of hinging a projection 142, or 152, adapted to snap into the aperture 143, or 153, of a spring tongue 144, or 154, secured upon the inside of the wall 3 ofthe compartment, and having a finger piece 145, or 155, protruding through sald wall for releasing purposes.

The chamber 8 which is closed by the lid or cover 14 is adapted to contain the pipe 9, and the other chamber-10 forms a reservoir or container for the tobacco, as stated. The bottom of said tobacco chamber 10 has adjacent to the end 4 of the case or holder an aperture 18 adapted to be closed by a slide 19 working on the inside of said bottom and held in place with respect thereto by slideways 20 therefor upon said bottom. A finger piece 21 .projects' from said slide through the aperture 18 and by contact with the opposite edgw of said aperture limits movement-of the slide in opening and closing. The slide works longitudinally of the case or'holder, and is held against movement pipe in a stream of thedesired size. The cover 15 of the tobacco compartmentlO does not need to be opened, therefore, except when itis necessary to refill the said c01npartment, the tobacco at all other times being discharged through the opening 18. The other oompartme 8, or its cover 14, is of course opened and closed whenever it is necessary to take the pipe 9 out of said chamber or to replace it therein.

Obviously,'when a pipe is filled with tbbacco from my improved holder, the holder is held with the end 4 downward, and said end being rounded or tape-red andthe out-- let 18 located thereat, thetoba'cco is readily discharged into the pipe bowl.

Having thus described the invention, what I claim as new is The hereindescribed case or holder, comprising a chambered bodyportion which is broad and flat and has an end which is ta- 5 pered or rounded edgewise of the plane of the body portion, said body portion having an aperture in its broad bottom closely adjacent to the middle of said tapered or rounded end, a slide workin longitudinally of the body portion upon t 0 inside of its bottom for closi said aperture, means for operating said. slide through said aperture from the outside of the body portion, and means forclosing the top of sad bod portion', whereby the case held flatwise' 1n the palm of the hand will discharge its contents through said aperture and the said slide may be operated by one of the digits and the stream of tobacco from said aperture also 'uided into a pipe bowl by the same said digit.
